Paul, I have just joined FAL, not very techno on FB, as don't use it to often, if I want to put my name down on a match, and I guess stupid question , how do I go about it ?? Interested in the Southend Farm xmas match, if I can be put on the reserve list, any pointers would be great

These are the new Cresta Feeder / Waggler hook length boxes. The principle is simple. There are two sizes of box. The Green winders are 15cm with a 10cm oval loop in the middle. This enable you to make hooklengths of 25cm, 35cm and so on without the need for tape measures and such. The Orange winder box is exactly the same but is 20cm with a 20cm oval loop allowing hooklengths of 40cm, 60cm and so on....you get the idea. Simple and easy. The great thing is the winders from the feeder boxes fit into the original winder boxes for pole hooklengths so you can carry a selection of both in one box.
As well as that we are also bringing out pre tied hooks on the winders ready to go straight into the relevant hook length box. The hooks initially are Gamakatsu Hair Riggers and Hair Rigger Lights with bands and quick stops. The tying is exceptional and Cresta went to Ashley Francis for advice on the tying and having looked at initial samples they are the business. Over time we expect additional Gamakatsu hooks to nylon to be sold this way so the angler can buy them ready tied and put them straight into their Cresta Hooklength Box
The original Hooklengths Boxes are RRP !15.99 and the New Feeder / Waggler Hooklengths Boxes are RRP £16.99. The winder with hooks will be RRP £3.99 for 8 hooks on the winder.
Mark Murdoch ( Cresta Match U.K. )
" On a personal note I have used the hook length boxes and they are an extremely tidy way to keep your hook length and the modular system of being able to move individual winders is for me great as I visit many diverse venues over a 12 month period in the U.K. and abroad. The loop in the feeder / waggler winder boxes is so simple, allowing you to make your hooklengths precise without the need for measuring , or in my case a long piece of wood with various pins in it ! Some people look at the loop and think it will be fiddly. I assure you its not and I myself was sceptical when i received the first sample. I don't get excited about a lot of things these days , but after tying hooklengths for Holland after 15 minutes I even emailed Arjan Klopp , the designer , to tell him it was a genius idea. The other thing I like about it is I can see into the box. You can see in the pic that they have written directly onto the winder. I would not do this. I have a load of white sticky labels which go on the bottom of the winder and I can read them and find what I want. If i need to reuse that winder i can just replace the sticky winder. Another thing people say is that they are not sealed. The simple answer is if they were you will seal moisture in and you will compromise your hooks and lines
If you have any questions about them do not hesitate to put them up and I will do my best to answer them. "

Handmade by Ian Lewis
Modern, British, Traditional. Extreme durability is the foundation of my entire product range where skilled craftsmanship and detail remain uncompromised. Merging the requirements of modern anglers with the naturally hard wearing and biodegradable materials used, I aim to embrace the need for cutting edge design together with traditional hand crafted products. The result. An exclusive collection of superior modern day classics. A joy to own and a joy to use.
I am one of only a few full time professional float makers left in England. I make fine, hand crafted fishing floats using the finest natural materials for the discerning angler. I offer a link to the way things were not too long ago, when the pace of life was just that little bit slower and people were more in touch with the tools they used. I offer a large range of floats, some of which you may remember from childhood that are no longer available in tackle stores. Several patterns are of my own design and others have been inspired by several highly talented cutomers from around the world - where we have collaborated to bring their ideas to reality.

My name is Richie Wilson I have been fishing the north west match circuit for over 20 years. Over the last 18 months I have worked along side 3 times match man of the year Andy Bennett and top north west match man Steve Parry designing and producing these floats. Since we started they have accounted for hundreds of match wins and several fishery records. The demand by the north west match circuit and further a field has been so great I have decided to give the rest of the angling world a chance to try them for themselves.

DT Floats
"Unlike many traditional mass produced pole floats, you can be assured that these floats will withstand the rigours of today's commercial baggin’ sessions.
In the unlikely event that your float gets line cuts in the main body, this new “Hi-Tech” foam will not take on water, so your floats will last for years, not just a few sessions.
The float stems are super strong, extremely flexible and run right through the bodies and into the tips, leaving no weak spots.
The super strong eyes cannot pull out and damage your float, as all eyes sit over the tips rather than being screwed into the body.
Remember, the right choice of a quality, well-balanced float can mean the difference between seeing that all important shy bite or missing out completely."
